Converting Pipe Velocity to Volumetric Flow

Converting Pipe Velocity to Volumetric Flow

Function Naming

Lib.Mervis.v1_0.VelocityToFlow_m3ph

Description

A function used to convert pipe flow velocity to volumetric flow rate.

Required Project References

Lib.Mervis

Usage in ST

program test
    var
        velocity : real;
        flow : real;
    end_var

    flow := lib.mervis.v1_0.VelocityToFlow_m3ph(Velocity_mps := velocity, diameter := 0.1);
end_program

Inputs

Name	Data Type	Retain	Mandatory Connection	Meaning
Velocity_mps	real	No	Yes	Velocity in the pipe in meters per second
Diameter	real	No	No	Pipe diameter in meters

Outputs

Name	Data Type	Meaning
⇒	real	Calculated volumetric flow in cubic meters per hour

Notes

To obtain the mass flow rate in kilograms per hour, the result of the function should be multiplied by the density of the substance in kilograms per cubic meter.
